Took some photos of some very high altitude queens yesterday. Very cold place.

I noticed the petioles are purple, how common is this amonsgt other queens ?

The babies from this tree also come up with purple petioles, wide spacings on trunk and FAT.

Nigel, my queens show that purple on the lower part of the leaf bases as well. It's especially noticeable on young trees when fresh leaf bases are pulled off, similar to your third photo.

Thanks for the pics, you look cold in that jacket! :lol:

looking at more queens........ the purple is not evident in most yet I think it is there, the speed of trunk growth of these mountain queens seems to aument the amount of petiole base on view.

This is the first time I've seen purple color on a queen palm.  I found this at a local big box store in Harlingen.  I think it's a 20-gal size and had no price tag or other info.  Might be a cold hardy variety - everything looks typical aside from the color.  No others with it - only one like this.
